This is the alpha release of SparcOmatic, a MIDI synthesizer for the Sun 
A lot of the features were shoved in quickly to get a demo working in time
for the Summer '93 Usenix conference, so I expect some radical changes

Contents:

synth:
  This is the synthesizer.  It uses stdin and stdout for commands,
  reads MPU format midifiles, renders them, and generates output on
  /dev/audio

synth.tcl
  This is a "wish" program, written in TK/tcl that runs synth with an X
  based graphical user interface.

voice.tcl
  This is a wish program that talks to "synth.tcl" to permit dynamic
  manipulation of synth's voicing characteristics

tunes/*.mpu
  These are some sample "mpu" format midi files.  They have been culled from
  various network archives, and converted to MPU format from standard midi
  format.
  
This is a preliminary release.  There are lots of missing features, both in
synth, and in the user interfaces.  Suggestions are welcomed.  I probably
already know about the most serious bugs and obviously missing features.
